MHI recently announced an educational partnership with DC Velocity and RoboBusiness Review for the new ProMat 2021 Robotics and Automation Solutions Center. As part of this partnership, each publication will host summits featuring education on the latest trends and technologies in robotics and automation for distribution center and warehouse operations. 

 

These summits will be held in two educational theaters located directly on the ProMat show floor in the new Solution Center dedicated to robotics and automation solutions. These partnerships will make ProMat 2021 the destination for supply chain professionals to learn from, and interact with, the leaders and visionaries of this fast paced and dynamic industry that is shaping global unified commerce. 

 

“The new ProMat 2021 Robotics & Automation Solution Center will be a convergence of dynamic automation and thought leadership on the grandest stage,” says Greg Baer, Director of Sales, MHI. “MHI and ProMat are thrilled to announce our partnership with DC Velocity and RoboBusiness Review to deliver world class content right in the heart of the Robotics and Automation Solution Center. As this industry faces supply chain complexities and customer demands like never before, ProMat will continue to be the resource to find the latest solutions to help them compete and win in this hyper-competitive business environment.” 

 

“DC Velocity is excited to offer the DC Velocity Automation and Robotics Summit at ProMat 2021,” says Gary Master, Publisher, DC Velocity. “The summit will allow logistics leaders to address and discuss the latest in automation, technology, labor redeployment and meeting customer’s logistics demands. With today’s labor shortage and increased customer demands, Distribution Center managers are looking for increased flexibility and gaining efficiencies more than ever.  There could not be a more-timely topic of discussion than automation and robotics and there is no better place to discuss these hot button issues than a world class expo like ProMat 2021.”

 

“We look forward to continuing the RoboBusiness Summit and Chief Robotics Officer Summit at ProMat 2021 and in developing and curating world class content from thought leaders in the robotics and automation industry,” added Bill Baumann, Managing Director, Robotics Division, EH Media.
